Most people say one thing about Joe Abercrombie: they say he is dark. But they forget that he's also damn funny. Though it has moments of brutality and violence, this collection of short stories displays the sharp, cynical edge of Abercrombie's wit.

An odd book. The world 18th century Paris comes to life with vivid description of scent.

A Little Hatred is Abercrombie at his best: the character's are delightfully grey, the pacing is top notch, and the plot... this is one of the greatest openings to a series I have ever read.

I'm conflicted about this book. I really felt like I should love the ending, but something felt off about it. Most Importantly, However, The Frequent Frivolous Capitalization of Random Words Was Deeply Annoying. However, on the other hand, I LOVED the concept and the worldbuilding. The second half of the book is rally fun, because of all of Piranesi's inner confilct.
